PHP: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/

Question

I keep getting this error on a new server I just setup

Answer 1

Log into your ftp and confirm the following:

• The folder exists, check for spellings
• Check the properties of the folder and make sure the permissions have read+write 0666
• Make sure the file is within your public html root, otherwise double check the owner of the file, and make sure PHP Has read / write access to it.

looking at the log:

Unable to move '/tmp/php6wlOg1' to    'upload/110216104651_00134_smooth_1440x900.jpg' 

It seems to me that its looking in your root directory as upload/110216.... should be path.to/public_html/upload/110216....

If none of the above work, please post your line of code that has move_uploaded_file on.
